[Q] Bluetooth steering wheel remote?

Hi
I'm planing to mount an Nexus 7 in my car, since I only use my phone for music anyway.
But I don't have remote controls on my steering wheel stock in my 01 wrx.
So I need an bluetooth remote that will allow Me to adjust volume an change song, that can be mounted on the steering wheel.

Like this but with bluetooth so I can use it on the Nexus 7.
Any one knows of something like Im looking fore?
I've tried google but no luck..

Bluetooth accessories

I have an old car so it doesn't have a steering wheel control buttons. I bought myself a bluetooth wireless remote control to try to control my music/voice search this way but the bluetooth doesn't connect to the head unit. Is there any work around to get this going? Perhaps w/ a bluetooth adapter connected to the usb? I'd like to connect to my bluetooth accessories somehow.
Thanks!

I am in the same boat as you. Bought a bluetooth steering wheel control, but HU does not recognize. As far as I know, the solution if you want steering wheel control is to install a remote control that I have seen recently on EBay and Aliexpress recently. Search "Car Steering Wheel Control Key Button For Android DVD/GPS Player Bluetooth Phone" on Ebay to see what I am talking about. You have to connect a control unit to the back of the HU. I have not tried this yet. Instructions seem a little unclear and I have not yet taken the plunge.

Seicane s09206 Bluetooth Issue in Phone Calls & Connected BT Devices Not Displayed

Seicane s09206 Bluetooth Issue in Phone Calls & Connected BT Devices Not Displayed
Hi there!
I purchased this Android 8 radio from Seicane for my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee:
***seicane.com/seicane-s09206-android-gps-radio-car-stereo-for-2002-2007-chrysler-300-m-300c-300-limited-touring-with-dvd-player-gps-navigation-system-mirror-link-touch-screen-rearview-camera-tv-video-wifi-canbus-obd2-bluetooth-usb-sd-steering-wheel-control
It is using MCU: ZHAN_(NOR)__90_C9RD6686_CAN(A)PX5D1808140
Which looks like this s200 platform: ***roadnav.com.cn/show_content.php?id=949
I am having the following issues:
1) I can not hear audio from my car speaker with Bluetooth calls but it will send audio through the microphone. I can hear streaming Bluetooth music from my car speakers fine. I believe this may be a result of a phone audio setting for the Bluetooth device however I can not see paired devices from the radio.
2) I can not see currently paired devices from the radio. I believe this feature is disabled. Is there a way to enable this? I am able to pair my iPhone by just going to my phone setting but the list of connected Bluetooth devices does not show on the android radio. I have tried installing third party bluetooth managers and they are also blocked from seeing the connected devices.
3) The EQ fader goes to zero volume when the speakers are all the way to the front, and all speakers have full volume when it's faded all the way to the rear. Balance left and right work perfectly. This may also be related to the Bluetooth issue as I head most BT phone calls just use the front speakers.
Thanks for your time!

Head unit with fully working bluetooth?

Does anyone have an recommendations on an double din android based head unit that has a fully working bluetooth module? Something that can pair with and control an Alpine PXE-0850S amplifier. Does such a head unit exist?
Thanks

I would also like to know if such a product exist.
With new headunits including plenty of memory, storage, fast a75 cores and 4g -but high noise floor and only 2 slow usb ports+crippled BT is such as letdown :-(

I noticed the Atoto units have two bluetooth modules and support bluetooth tethering. Any chance those will pair with generic devices?

Well, I answered my own question by buying an Atoto S8 and trying it out. The second bluetooth module seems to be a normal fully working module and does pair with the Alpine amp and allows the amp settings to be configured using the Alpine app. However, since the amp also supports bluetooth streaming, whenever the head unit connects to the amp over bluetooth it routes audio output from music apps (but not the radio) via the bluetooth connection (instead of spdif), bypassing the head unit volume controls. So whenever I want to change the amp configuration I have to pair it with the head unit, run the Alpine app, make the changes, and then unpair the amp. Grrrr.....

Newbie: Android tab hooked up to Sony BT Amplifier w/o head unit

Hi Everyone,
I hate stock car audio set ups and can't stand how bad the stick head units are in my country India.
I'm planning on buying a new car, the Nissan Magnite (the base version usually comes with just the Aircon and no bahut, music player or speakers) and wanted to set up the ICE without any stock components. Could you help me understand if the following set up would work as I'm describing it.
Car amplifier: Sony XM - GS6 (with built in DSP)
Head unit: Samsung s6 tab lite with wireless charging dock
Speakers and sub woofer: haven't finalized, evaluating options
1) can I install the amplifier in the 2 din console space, have the tab connect to the amplifier via Bluetooth and the tab becomes the default screen. Is this possible?
2) since the tab will be playing the music, can it also act as a DSP or an equaliser via any available apps? Like what's the best way to get quality output from this setup?
3) can the controls be set up to connect the following to the tab, either via Bluetooth or via USB or via 3.2 jack and finally control them either by voice assistant or dashboard control buttons on the tab:
a) steering mounted controls for music player and calling,
b) FM radio antenna to connect to the tab,
c) reverse mirror, obd scanner, Aircon controls?
Thanks in advance!

Bump!! Pls reply to a noob
